ENGLISH FOOD !
There is so much already written about it from various types of views, from all nationalities, new-comers, and the natives , so many debates, praises and disappointments, but no matter what you heard or read everybody discovers it for themselves.
There I was strolling along between the shelves of the grocery store and thinking "OK, I can do it, it can't be as bad as some people claim!"))) OK. The bread - I found out - tasted like a chunk of cotton wool)) Oh My, it had no smell, no texture and nothing in common with the bread I was used to. All juices and drinks were so sugary I had to put 5 times more amount of water in them. When I first tried Ribena - I nearly cried, I've never in my life tasted such concentrated juice..)) The sausages looked nothing like anything I've ever seen or tried ( I gotta be honest I tried them ones and also they weren't that bad I still didn't order them anymore ). Black and white pudding - I didn't try them once!!! Just ttttttttooooo weird.
And the winner was - Marmite!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who don't know what that is -product of the yeast extract and smth. from the beer brewing. You can put it on toast))) When I was working in the restaurant and got acquainted with marmite, heard what that was and smelled it - OH DEAR ME - I nearly threw up ( and I don't throw up easily). I told my room mate from Brazil not to taste it unless she was really sure about it but she still did)))) That was actually a bit funny to watch)) Her running around the room, washing her mouth and cursing in Portuguese! But some people love it so I guess it is really very individual thing.
What I loved and found awesome was the dairy food. The variety of yoghurts , desserts and rice-puddings)
mmmmmmmmmmm...... I couldn't live one day without one. Another revelation was the chocolate - lets say no more or my heart is going to stop))) The cakes, biscuits, and chocolate bars, candies, marshmallows, doughnuts, toffee stuff, ice-cream and peanuts in chocolate.... I can go on and on about it for ages... That was amazingly delicious and not expensive at all) Real treat for me cause I always was such a sweet tooth)))))That's why I gained 10 kg. when discovered that I didn't care for normal British food as long as there were so many fantastic chocolately things........Results - strict diet for 6 months, working out like a mad woman and really watching how much sweets I consume!!!!
Actually in about a year I got used to all kinds of British food - it's so homey)))) and I miss some of it still!! Except for Marmite) Sorry fella, no place in my heart for you, ever.
